Hillside Cottage is a characterful five-bedroom semi with a rare tower annexe and about an acre of mature gardens, set in the peaceful Polden Hills countryside. The main stone house dates from the 1670s and was sympathetically refurbished in 2019: original beams and inglenook fireplaces remain alongside a modern Howdens kitchen and a new bathroom. The setting delivers panoramic rural views and a south-facing courtyard, ideal for family living and outdoor pursuits.
The architect-designed Tower Annexe is a distinctive asset inspired by C.F.A. Voysey. It includes a ground-floor store room with plumbing and clear potential to become a self-contained holiday let or studio, subject to planning consent. For buyers seeking rental income or a separate guest/annexe space, this offers genuine upside once permissions are obtained.
Practical strengths include fast broadband, detached double garage with gated access, greenhouse and outbuildings, and no identified flood risk. Note this is semi-detached rather than fully detached and has two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which may require planning or alteration for larger families. Council tax sits above average for the area.
Overall this is well suited to a family wanting character, space and rural seclusion, or an investor looking to develop the annexe for holiday rental income. The property has been recently renovated so immediate occupation is possible, but the tower conversion will need planning and any buyer wanting major reconfiguration should allow for further work.
